Tbilisi

On the bank of the Mtkvari River and at the foot of Trialeti mountain range, Tbilisi's location has given the city strategic significance since it was founded in the 5th century. Tibilisi has intermittently served as the capital of Georgia (as it does today), as well as representing the capital of the kingdom that preceded the country and several short-lived states that have replaced Georgia over the years. Despite having been destroyed and rebuilt 29 times since its founding, Tbilisi's historical center of narrow, winding alleys and crooked buildings remains mostly preserved. As home to many different cultures and religions across the centuries, Tbilisi offers an interesting mix of religious architecture and museums detailing the capital's varied past.

Where to stay

Strung out alongside the Mtkvari River, Tbilisi's historical core and bustling city center offers an array of accommodation options. Choose the fortress hill, the more northern residential districts, or a main street in the center of the action. Large international chain hotels offer luxury options, complete with fine dining, air conditioning, and more. However, you can also choose from more economical, mid-level options located around Rustaveli Avenue and Tbilisi's old town. For the lowest cost, consider one of the ubiquitous hostels.
